Pairing: Shunsui/Ukitake


Promise of a Lifetime

"Will you promise to never leave me?" The first time he had asked that had been the very first time they'd gotten together, and he had asked that again and again every night since. Each time they lay in each other's arms he would ask that, before they fell asleep.

Ukitake couldn't bear to have Shunsui leave him, not after what had happened with Kaien. Kaien had left him in the worst way possible. He had died.

Each time the question was asked, Shunsui would turn to him with a serious expression on his face, one that he rarely wore, and gently cupped Ukitake's face in his hands, leaning forward and gazing into his eyes. "I promise, Juushiro. I promise that, no matter what, I will never leave you."

Ukitake would smile, relief flooding through him, and close the remaining distance between their lips in the most loving of kisses. "Thank you, Kyoraku. Thank you so much…."
